Simple Sparring Guidelines

Always be kewl
· Watch your opponent at all times – you can’t block a technique if you can’t see it.
· Use techniques in combination – follow up an attack – don’t use one technique and then stop.
· Breathe! Try to relax. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you as you spar.
· Stay calm and focused mentally and physically.
· Guard your head – keep at least one hand up at all times.
· Minimize the targets you present to your opponent – don’t face them straight on.
· Stay light on your feet and move around on angles, not just backwards and forwards.
· Use high techniques to mask a low attack and vice versa.
· Observe other’s sparring habits to discover what techniques might work against them.
· A good KIA can momentarily distract your opponent and adds confidence and power to your attack.
